Fantasy Football Week 15 Rankings: Top Players and Matchups for All Positions

As usual, it’s shaping up to be a wild week in fantasy heading into Week 15, when many players have entered their postseasons. 

Owners of Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones are sweating it out as they wait to hear whether he will miss a second straight game with turf toe.

Those who drafted New England’s Rob Gronkowski in the first round have had to stay active on the waiver wire this season.

And Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is instilling panic in those who plan to start him as he works through a hamstring injury in one leg and a hurting calf in the other. 

But, hey, if fantasy were easy, it wouldn’t be nearly as fun, right?

Let’s take a look at the top projected players at each position heading into Week 15 and preview some of the top starters’ matchups. 

Quarterbacks

The Green Bay Packers may be playing for their postseason lives, but don’t tell that to Aaron Rodgers; the leader of the Pack is already in postseason form.

Heading into Week 15, Rodgers leads the league with 32 touchdown passes, while he’s thrown only seven interceptions.

Rodgers is the highest-scoring quarterback in fantasy this season, with 296.66 points on the year. That’s nearly 20 more points than Atlanta’s Matt Ryan, who has also been lighting up the league with the NFL’s No. 1 scoring offense. 

The Packers have a classic divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, a team that is allowing opponents an average of 22.3 points per game. With his team’s season on the line, expect Rodgers to take to the air early and often. 

Running Backs

If you’re in the playoffs in your fantasy league, you’re counting on David Johnson to bring home the trophy.
